An artist must eat sparingly and give up a normal way of life.

Be a good craftsman; it won't stop you from being a genius.

Nothing costs so little, goes so far, and accomplishes so much as a single act of merciful service.

There isn't a single person or landscape or subject which doesn't possess some interest, although it may not be immediately apparent. When a painter discovers this hidden treasure, other people are immediately struck by its beauty.

Shall I tell you what I think are the two qualities of a work of art? First, it must be indescribable, and second, it must be inimitable.

I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.

The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
